Seems like Trump is still salty that "Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election identified 10 instances of possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump" https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-ap-top-news-elections-james-comey-north-america-e0d125d737be4a21a81bec3d9f1dffd8 Not that Trump ever actually faced consequences for... pretty much anything in his entire life... | ||

According to the recently resigned counter terrorism head Joe Kent said that there was credible evidence of foreign interference but that the Trump administration made them close the investigation before looking into it. These guys love conspiracies and spreading shit so who knows. https://www.newsweek.com/ex-trump-official-says-he-was-told-stop-investigating-charlie-kirk-killing-11704210 | ||

Kirk now want to be very mad that Trunp said he was glad someone who he actually interacted with is dead. There's plenty of hypocrisy to go around. Even worse imo since Kirk was assassinated but Mueller was not. Now obviously Trump shouldn't say that even if he feels it. What he said about Rob Riener was way worse though. Trump is an a-hole, but the outrage is a bit much considering where it is coming from. | ||

The goalposts moved to, "Was there any violence" and "Let's count emigration" and "Was there violent antisemitism." So you can tell broad agreement with the claim by how quickly it was silently accepted and changed. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum online resources are right about it, for those that clicked your link. The lies were to conceal what they were doing, and not totally ineffective because they had told everyone exactly what they planned to do from the start. You get fuzzy later, since forced transfer or children/prevention of births can be considered "genocide." It's not just about murdering an ethnic/religious minority. Are you talking about my post here? I didn't think there would be pushback saying that Nazis were intent on exterminating all the Jews. That kind of blindsided me to be honest. | ||

Your claims of hypocrisy aren't even worth addressing at this moment. I don't understand this. No one here is president? So of course? The Kirk discourse got far more engagement from both sides than this will so again I'm just not sure this is a meaningful point. People here were definitely cheering/excusing the cheering though. So they certainly did the bolded. If you want to say that Trump, as president, should act like it, then I will agree with you. | ||

Just so I get this straight, are you claiming that cheering the assassination of Kirk is very minor and thus incomparable to Trump cheering the (natural) death of Mueller?I don't think anyone here has done anything comparable to the president officially announcing that he's glad a political opponent is dead. Your claims of hypocrisy aren't even worth addressing at this moment. I wasn't reading the thread back around Kirk's death, so I don't know whether you personally or others around here said something as disgusting as Trump saying he was glad Mueller died. | ||

Trump is an a-hole, but the outrage is a bit much considering where it is coming from. Isn't the outrage directed towards Trump when he says stuff like this pretty much universal among like, every single person who isn't a complete piece of shit? Also, how is what he said about Rob Reiner 'way worse'? The guy said 'Good, I’m glad he’s dead', I really struggle seeing how it gets 'much worse' than that. I also struggle understanding why you're insisting on selling your soul for some guy you according to yourself you haven't voted for and do not like. Presumably, there's not even going to be another election where you're forced to choose between your political opinions and your morality anyway - you can say "Trump is vile disgusting man. Petty and pathetic, you are a hypocrite who reeks of weakness and insecurities with no moral core. Regardless of the politics, the American people should be embarrassed and ashamed for ever having entrusted you with leadership" or “When you die, Americans, and people around the world, will dance in the streets for weeks because you’re a low, degenerate, criminal fraud who left a full stain on the presidency.” or “What a sick human being. A permanent disfiguring scar on the dignity of our nation.” without really losing face or whatever, but instead you insist on trying to be like 'meh no biggie'. | ||

I'm not aware of a single Democrat anywhere saying anything more controversial than "Charlie Kirk shouldn't have been murdered but he wasn't a good person", although one guy got thrown in jail for 37 days for saying "We need to get over it" (quoting child molester Donald Trump in reference to one of the hundreds of school shootings that happened in 2025). Also, it's not hypocritical to expect the "don't speak ill of the dead" party that wept 100 days of blood over people who remembered the actual things Kirk said (like homosexuals being stoned to death is "God's perfect law") to be consistent and condemn Trump over what he said about Mueller, but let's be real, they're not going to do that because they have no real convictions. Maybe some retiring Republican will make some milquetoast remark like "he shouldn't have said that" and that'll be it. | ||

A permanent disfiguring scar on the dignity of our nation.” without really losing face or whatever, but instead you insist on trying to be like 'meh no biggie'. See my follow up reply. Or even the reply I gave to you the other day. I've said Trump is a terrible person a million times but I'd prefer if the conversation didn’t just stop there. Unfortunately that's where it seems like people want to dwell. It gets hard to discuss things worth discussing, like Iran, ICE enforcement, trade, or anything else. If every conversation has to come back to "Tump is a bad man" then we probably aren’t getting anywhere. Heck Trump himself said something like "Kirk loved his enemies, I hate my enemies." So I don't see where I've sold my soul since evey time I'm asked I say he's a bad person. People are using as a way to avoid talking about other things. Edit: my recollection is that Trunp blamed Reiner's murder on TDS. I think that's worse, especially since A) Riener was murdered, didn't just die B) Mueller did go on a months long witch hunt against Trump so was in some sense "an enemy" in a way that a Democrat film director wasn't. | ||

Did you read the Holocaust Museum link, and is there anything in there that you disagree with? | ||

You seem to be deeply confused about the phrase "witch hunt". Actual witches capable of supernatural magic don't exist, so anyone killed for practicing witchcraft was killed for bogus reasons. The Mueller investigation resulted in numerous felony indictments and guilty verdicts, and the conclusions of his report were backed up by a Senate Committee chaired by Marco Rubio, the current Secretary of State. He was also appointed by a fellow Republican, Rod Rosenstein, who was confirmed by the Republican-held Senate. At no point was the investigation unwarranted or unjustified. | ||
